MAX5171BEEE+T

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5171BEEE+T is a low-power, serial, voltage-output, 14-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) housed in a 16-pin QSOP package. It operates from a +5V single supply and features a precision output amplifier with rail-to-rail capability. The device draws 260µA of supply current, reducing to 1µA in shutdown mode. Key electrical parameters include ±2 LSB integral nonlinearity (INL), ±1 LSB differential nonlinearity (DNL), and a typical settling time of 12µs. It supports SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE interfaces.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Glitch-free output voltage at power-up
• Programmable shutdown mode with 1µA current consumption
• User-programmable digital output pin for external control
• Force/sense voltage output configuration

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Digitally programmable 4–20mA current loops
• Industrial process control systems
• Digital offset and gain adjustment circuits
• Motion control applications
• Automatic test equipment (ATE)

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'B' indicates ±2 LSB INL performance rather than the 'A' grade's ±1 LSB specification. Confirm the datasheet revision matches the design requirements. Ensure the 16-pin QSOP footprint aligns with the PCB layout. Check for RoHS compliance status as indicated in the ordering information section.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a 14-bit resolution is required with a +5V supply voltage. The MAX5171 is suitable for designs needing a glitch-free startup state and low power consumption. Consider the MAX5173 if a +3V supply is preferred instead. Verify that the serial interface timing meets the system clock constraints.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX5171/MAX5173 family of low-power, serial DACs. It serves as a pin-compatible upgrade to the 12-bit MAX5175/MAX5177 devices. The series offers both internal and external reference options across different grades. It is designed for space-saving applications requiring high precision in a compact package.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The MAX5171AEEE+T is a direct replacement offering higher accuracy with ±1 LSB INL. For lower supply voltage applications, the MAX5173 series provides equivalent functionality on a +3V supply. Pin-compatible upgrades to the 12-bit MAX5175/MAX5177 are also available within the same package.
